Modular GitHub Actions

[ngupta23]

If you want to create a base GitHub action files and run it with different settings, you can do this using reusable calls as follows

# modular_workflow_file.yaml
name: Modular Workflow File using flag1

on:
  workflow_call:
    inputs:
      flag1:
        required: true
        type: boolean

env:
  ENV_VAR1: ${{ secrets.ENV_VAR1 }}
  ENV_VAR2: ${{ secrets.ENV_VAR2 }}

jobs:
  my_job_name:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Clone repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up environment
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.10"

      - name: Install pip requirements
        run: pip install uv && uv pip install -e . --system

      - name: Run file
        run: |
          echo "Running with --flag1=${{ inputs.flag1}}"
          python my_lib/folder1/script1 --flag1=${{ inputs.flag1}}

# calling workflow file
name: Workflow using settings True

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"  # Runs every day at midnight
  workflow_dispatch:

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

jobs:
  call_reusable:
    uses: ./.github/workflows/modular_workflow_file.yaml
    with:
      flag1: True
    secrets: inherit  # Passes all secrets to the reusable workflow
